If you mean FB or MBB, those decisions will be made by ESPN, Raycom, Fox, etc. They get to select the games they air. This may be a blessing for the conference. They might otherwise tend to act against UMD's interest. The ACC should also refrain from trying to influence those decisions. Equality and neutrality toward UMD in all conference business is the sensible course.

MD fans I know are already chaffed that they don't get home BB games with Duke or UNC this year - I'm sure that is a big good bye from the ACC. It would be funny if they got stuck with inconvient times for their games or something - but I agree - I think the people who own the content get to decide who is on TV - it will be up to MD to be relevant.

Those fools have no reason to be chaffed. What did they think would happen? Swofford would drop by College Park and sing happy songs with them?

The only people they need to be chaffed at are the leaders of their university. Dr Loh was the prime mover in that fiasco.

Will the ACC broadcast any Maryland home games this year? I would think, no, just as a gut reaction.

Below is a link to their Basketball schedule. Looks about like the other league teams as far as televised games.
As for football, those decisions get made much closer to game day. But games vs Florida International and UCONN are currently scheduled for ESPN3.http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...d-for-2013-14/
